DI Jade Tanner's new Complex Crimes Unit is finding its feet. DS Mo Uddin is settling into his new Scottish home, Dr Petra McBride has stopped receiving anonymous calls, and Jade is working to support her son over the loss of his dad. But then a mysterious crime is added to their workload. The body of a young man is discovered at the top of Dunsinane Hill, with soil from Birnam Wood in his pockets. The two sites are sixteen miles apart, so this is no fluke. Petra and Jade immediately spot the Macbeth reference. And when another body is found at a second location linked to the play, they worry there could be more killings. Can the team solve the puzzle and work out where the killer will strike next, or will it be too late?

Detective Sergeant Mo Tanner is in out of his depth. He's left behind his beloved West Midlands behind, and his old boss DI Zoe Finch, to head north for a new posting in Scotland's Complex Crimes Unit. The unit is headed up by DI Jade Tanner, who's battling demons of her own, and assisted by criminal psychologist Dr Petra McBride. But the existence of the team is controversial. They're given an office in an obscure industrial estate in the east of Glasgow, and it seems only Jade's boss wants the team to stay together. Over the course of the series, they'll be presented with crimes in Scotland's most memorable locations including Loch Lomond, Inverness and Perthshire. Will they be able to prove themselves? And will Petra hold her nerve, despite the fact she seems to have a stalker? Find out by reading the McBride & Tanner series, all now available in one book.
